The principal object production of a composition time. i of i1 Anotherobject of the present invention is the provision of a homogeneouscomposition of matter in a, semi-liquid form, containing finely dime. Acomposition of matter made in accordance with this invention is asfollows:

Place together approximately two pounds foliated vermiculite. I
